    Fx-53 installed & unistalled

    Where are you guys getting the idea I said I wanted to run it without a fan? From never installing a computer before, I sure as hell wasn't going to try myself with an $800+ CPU. I would never forgive myself if I made a mistake. The tech told my not to use the hyper 6 cooler master becuase it...

    Fx-53 installed & unistalled

    Ok I'm new to even seeing this grey paste that creates a barrier from heat between the fan and processor. Reason Im asking this is becuase I originally bought an MSI board and had it installed to an fx-53. Since the MSI board has a flaw in it (hangs in bios) I returned it for a Gigibyte. Since...

    The best way to protect my new computer please

    Ok thanks for the imprtant info. It's a good thing I did not buy that yet. I have asked a few people already about this and one of them said it was interchangable. You can never get enough opinions. I will probably spring the extra money for the fx-53 939 Right after my last reformat 6...

    Am I making a mistake?

    Well damn. Newegg has a link to "cancel order" but it does nothing but show the invoice. I contacted them via-email to replace the case with a antec 550 truepower, but I have a feeling once they receive an order and get paid, I'm stuck with it. I hope I can return it, but have noticed it stamped...
